  • TSFAQ Links to Prof. Timo Salmi's FAQ materials (archive.org, 2012)

    "Timo was a notable contributor to Usenet, both as a participant and an
    FAQ author. Not only a great technical resource for the use of the
    Procmail mail filtering program, but also someone who was keenly aware
    that the value and usefulness of public forums required careful
    cultivation of the 'Three C's' of Community, Culture, and Continuity."

    Has Timo died? Do you know anything about him?

    The guy used to run Turbo Pascal newsgroup (private) and also distributed shareware programs written in Turbo Pascal (with source codes). I can't
    find his webpage at University of Vaasa, Finland so I thought he must
    have passed away. I have seen his research papers at this link:

    Timo was active on Twitter/X as recently as July:

    He's retired from academia, and likely also Usenet.
